Optimal maternal long chain polyunsaturated fatty acid (LCPUFA) status is essential for the developing foetus. The fatty acid desaturase (FADS) genes are involved in the endogenous synthesis of LCPUFA. The minor allele of various FADS single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been associated with increased maternal concentrations of the precursors linoleic acid (LA) and α-linolenic acid (ALA), a
The current live attenuated vaccine against tuberculosis, BCG, poses a risk of disseminated infections in immunocompromised subjects. Therefore, in this study we compared the protective effect of a heat-killed bacille Calmette-Guerin (H-kBCG) vaccine given in a new adjuvant (Eurocine L3) with the protection provided by the conventional live attenuated BCG vaccine in mice (C57BL/6 and BALB/c) chall
Self-adaptation enables software to execute successfully in dynamic, unpredictable, and uncertain environments. However, most of the current approaches lack formal guarantees on the effectiveness and dependability of the adaptation mechanisms, limiting their applicability in practice. Control theory established a broad set of mathematically grounded techniques for the control of dynamic systems fo
The aim of this thesis was to explore the perceptions of, prerequisites for and benefits of user involvement among older people, persons with functional impairments and other user groups important to the research area. By using an adapted conceptual tool to categorize the various user involvement studies comprising the thesis, the aim wasalso to reflect on the importance of study design for the ou
Estrogen influences T cell development and enhances infection resistance in females, but its immunological effects during gender-affirming hormone therapy (GAHT) remain poorly understood. Here, we characterize immune adaptations in male rhesus macaques (RMs) treated with 17β-estradiol (E2) or placebo over 7 months. E2 therapy suppressed endogenous testosterone production, induced female physical t
INTRODUCTION: Administration of human serum albumin (HSA) solutions for the resuscitation of critically ill patients remains controversial. The objective of this study was to assess the effect of continuing medical education (CME) on health care professionals' clinical decision making with regard to HSA administration and the costs of quality (COQ). A quasi-experimental study of time series associ
Bacterial adhesion to the host is the most decisive step in infections. Trimeric autotransporter adhesins (TAA) are important pathogenicity factors of Gram-negative bacteria. The prototypic TAA Bartonella adhesin A (BadA) from human-pathogenic Bartonella henselae mediates bacterial adherence to endothelial cells (ECs) and extracellular matrix proteins. Here, we determined the interaction between B
Streptococcus pneumoniae is a bacterium of great global importance, responsible for more than one million deaths per year. This bacterium is commonly acquired in the first years of life and colonizes the upper respiratory tract asymptomatically by forming biofilms that persist for extended times in the nasopharynx. However, under conditions that alter the bacterial environment, such as viral infec
Lapptestning med palladium och aluminium (Swedish popular science summary)Lapptestning är standardmetoden för påvisning av kontaktallergi. Metoden har använts i över 100 år och utvecklas fortfarande. På 80-talet började flera kliniker i USA och Europa, inklusive Yrkes-och miljödermatologisk avdelning i Malmö, att lapptesta med palladiumklorid for att kunna påvisa palladiumallergi. Palladium är en AbstractThe aim of this thesis was to investigate the prevalence and significance of contact allergy to palladium from a Swedish perspective. Our initial findings made it necessary to also explore the importance of the metal aluminium used in test chamber systems and the effect of aluminium chloride (Al-Cl) in patch test preparations. A retrospective study (study I), with 18,306 patch test results
We introduce the concept of “residual investigation” for program analysis. A residual investigation is a dynamic check installed as a result of running a static analysis that reports a possible program error. The purpose is to observe conditions that indicate whether the statically predicted program fault is likely to be realizable and relevant. The key feature of a residual investigation is that
Popular Abstract in Swedish Hjärnan är ett energikrävande organ och förbrukar ca 20% av blodets syre trots att den bara utgör 1-2% av kroppsvikten. Mitokondrien är den del av cellen där syre och näringsämnen förbränns till koldioxid och vatten, och mitokondrien kallas ofta för cellens kraftstation. Denna process, den så kallade cellandningen, är kopplad till produktion av den energirika molekylen There is currently no clinically available drug with neuroprotective properties to limit the evolving cell death following e.g. stroke or traumatic brain injury. The mitochondrial permeability transition (mPT) is a potential pathological mechanism causing cell death in the CNS. As the name implies, the mPT is defined by a sudden increase in permeability of the inner mitochondrial membrane, whose n
Popular Abstract in Swedish Traditionellt har effekten av behandling inom kärlkirurgi främst utvärderats med objektiva mått, som till exempel beräkning av ankelindex och gångsträcka. Dessa data ger värdefull information men de återger inte hur patientens klarar sitt dagliga liv eller hur behandling återverkar på deras livskvalitet. Detta styrks i tidigare forskning som visar att korrelationen mellThe aim of this thesis was to assess quality of life in patients with varying degrees of lower limb ischaemia before and after revascularisation, to assess quality of life in relation to the degree of ischaemia and the respondents’ sense of coherence (SOC) and in comparison with a healthy control group, and to compare two different quality of life instruments regarding their usefulness as outcome
Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) exhibits potent effects on survival and function of midbrain dopaminergic (DA) neurons in a variety of models. Although other growth factors expressed in the vicinity of developing DA neurons have been reported to support survival of DA neurons in vitro, to date none of these factors duplicate the potent and selective actions of GDNF in vivo. We r
Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling presenterar en teori om hur utforskande och hantering av verktyg kan få människor att överskrida förutfattade begränsningar. Personer med grava kognitiva funktionshinder har mycket svåra begränsningar i sina förutsättningar att delta i aktiviteter som kan skapa mål och mening och bidra till förändringar i deras liv. De har svårartade inskränkningar närThe Driving to Learn project explored possible achievements of training people with cognitive disabilities in a joystick-operated powered wheelchair utilizing the grounded theory approach. Theoretical sampling led the concomitant collection and analysis of data. During a period of 12 years, 45 participants with profound cognitive disabilities, aged 12 months to 52 years, were engaged in the projec
Popular Abstract in Swedish Nervrotskompression i nacken - effekter av kirurgi, sjukgymnastik och halskrage. Under de senaste decennierna har besvär från halsrygg och axlar ökat hos befolkningen, medan besvär från ländrygg minskat. En orsak kan vara att tunga lyft i arbetet har minskat, medan sittande arbete med upprepade monotona armrörelser och arbete med framåtböjd nacke t.ex. framför datorskäThe efficacy of surgery, physiotherapy or a cervical collar in the treatment of chronic cervicobrachial pain of radicular origin was evaluated in a prospective, randomised study comprising 81 patients of both sexes, 28-64 years of age, referred for possible neurosurgical treatment. After neurological and radiological examination and giving their informed consent, they were randomised to one of the
Popular Abstract in Swedish Under den nuvarande värmeperioden (holocen) som inleddes för ca 11 600 år sedan, har klimatet i den nordatlantiska regionen varierat på både korta och långa tidsskalor. Orsaken till dessa variationer är många och komplexa, men kan till viss del relateras till temporära förändringar i havsströmmar och den atmosfäriska cirkulationen. Den termohalina cirkulationen, som delThe North Atlantic region has experienced significant climate fluctuations during the Holocene. It has been shown that these fluctuations affected the terrestrial environment in Iceland, including its glaciers and ice caps. However, the full Holocene development of Icelandic glaciers, including the large Vatnajökull ice cap and its outlet glaciers, is not fully known. In this thesis, a sediment se
